Ross and Rachel. Rachel and Ross. Their roller coaster ride of a relationship has driven us all absolutely crazy at times, but moments like these (in no particular order) are enough to make them the greatest television couple ever.
1. When Rachel realizes that Ross is in love with her.
Chandler, we’ll love you forever for not keeping that secret.
2. When Ross listens to Rachel’s drunk voicemail.
What a way for Rachel to confess to Ross that she likes him.
3. When they have their first real kiss in the doorway of Central Perk.
Finally, am I right?
4. When Ross sticks up for Rachel at Barry and Mindy’s wedding.
He’s just the best.
5. When Ross chooses Rachel over Bonnie when they’re in Montauk.
Unfortunately, the revival of their relationship doesn’t last long, but at least we get to see them confess their love for each other.
6. When they team up against the rude lady in the laundry room.
And then they kiss. Too cute.
7. When they drunkenly get married in Las Vegas.
Drunk actions reflect sober desires.
8. When they realize that they drunkenly got married.
See, if they had been married for real like they always should have been, this would not have happened.
9. When Ross describes his “proposal” to Rachel when they are pretending to be married.
He pretends he’s making up a story, but clearly he has had this beautifully romantic proposal planned for years.
10. When Ross is going to drink the fat.
When someone is willing to drink a glass of fat to show how much he loves you, you know it’s real.
11. When we find out Ross is the father of Rachel’s baby.
Not that we couldn’t have predicted it, but we can’t help but scream when Ross announces that the mystery red sweater is his.
12. When Rachel kisses Ross after watching the prom video.
And the prom video in general.
13. When Ross says Rachel’s name instead of Emily’s at the alter.
It’s impossible to care how mortifying this was for Emily when Ross basically just admitted that Rachel is his soulmate against all odds.
14. When Rachel gets off the plane.
Tears. Tears all around.
